I would second the suggestion for a Lee Classic Turret, especially if you are trying to decide between a single or a turret. The Lee Classic is cheaper than almost all (maybe all?) the decent single stages.
You can use it as a single stage if you want with the added convenience of having all the dies you need for that caliber loaded on the turret.
I generally do my reloading in a couple combined steps with the turret. I size and expand the case mouth (and prime on the way back down from that step).
I usually have cases left at this stage if I don't need ammo immediately as I do a lot of different loads (different bullets/powder) especially since it's tough to get what you want sometimes.
Next step I charge/seat and crimp combined. When I say "combined" I mean that once the shell goes in the holder, I finish those step before I take it out, so most of the time i am doing sort of a hybrid single/turret style reloading.
Not that there is anything wrong with Dillon, just out of my price range. I guess it really depends on how much you shoot. RCBS makes great presses if you do decide to go single stage route.
I do de-prime brass usually as a separate operation only because I like to take the primers out before I run them through the case cleaner. After using the Lee turret for several months if I had it to do over I would have never bought a single stage. It's very handy to have turrets loaded up with the dies you reload frequently and just pop them in and not worry about something being out of whack and having to re-set up dies. The turrets are also very cheap (bought a new one for < $10 shipped on eBay a couple weeks ago) compared to other brands.
Only down side on the Lee I have seen is that the turrets are relatively small diameter and if you have dies of another brands (such as RCBS) they screw in fine, but the locking rings are larger diameter than the Lee dies and it's tough to impossible to get 4 loaded at once. There are ways around it, you can swap out a couple locking rings with a set of Lee dies and with 2 large and two small I think you can get them to fit OK. I was hesitant in the past to buy Lee dies as they are so inexpensive, but the quality seems great, I love the 4 die set's Factory Case Sizer, and all their dies include a case holder which makes them even more of a bargain.
Not sure what you have been using for equipment but whatever you do, if you end up reloading pistol spend the $ and get CARBIDE die sets no matter what brand you go with. Good luck.
